## Sermons

- [Upon this Rock - Part 6 “To the ends of the earth”](https://wgumc.org/sermons/upon-this-rock-part-6-to-the-ends-of-the-earth) - Description: The last command Jesus gave his disciples was to go and make disciples of all nations. This is what has driven the growth and establishment of the church for the past 2000 years. In the midst of social changes and attitudes towards religious proselytization, how should we understand and practice Jesus’ command?
- [Upon this Rock - Part 5 "Being poured out"](https://wgumc.org/sermons/upon-this-rock-part-5-being-poured-out) - Description: Serving is not easy. It demands sacrifice, commitment and consistency but it is also a cornerstone of church life. Much of what we do as a church is about serving. During this part of the series we will explore the right approach and attitude towards serving and how it affects others in the church
- [Upon this Rock - Part 4 “Where our treasure is”](https://wgumc.org/sermons/upon-this-rock-part-4-where-our-treasure-is) - Description: Does God need money? Why are offerings and tithes such an important part of faith life? From what we read in the Bible there seems to be a direct connection between our attitude towards money and our attitude towards God. We will explore the spiritual and practical aspect of offerings and tithes.
- [Upon this Rock - Part 3 “Meet us here”](https://wgumc.org/sermons/upon-this-rock-part-3-meet-us-here) - Description: Worship is a crucial part of church life. But why? We gather every week and we sing some songs, listen to a sermon, take communion, etc. What are we actually doing every week when we come to worship and how should it shape our practical reality?
- [Upon this Rock - Part 2 "“Koinonia”](https://wgumc.org/sermons/upon-this-rock-part-2-koinonia) - Part 2 (May 01) Theme: Fellowship Description: What would church be without our friends? Fellowship has always been the glue that holds things together in church. This is a Christian concept that illustrates social connections, but are we understanding it correctly? What does the Bible say about fellowship, and is it possible we are missing
- [Upon this Rock - Part 1 "Upon this Rock"](https://wgumc.org/sermons/upon-this-rock-part-1-upon-this-rock) - Although organized religion and the practice of sacred gatherings has been present all throughout human history, Jesus reshaped its foundational understanding. The church is the living body of Christ that has been born out of the new covenant God established with humanity. What does it mean to belong to a church and how should it
